Newman's E30/Skyline swap thread

[Wh33lhop]

the printer builds in .0006" layers, so it's pretty accurate.

However, it's also expensive. Each of those knobs costs about 100 dollars...

Like in materials, or per print? If one of those knobs is $100 in plastic/machine time, a tiny odo gear is probably $5. :p

I'm not seriously trying to push it on you, just an idea. Wish I had access to fab tools like that, plus I'd rather spend ~$30 (hell even $50 is less hard to swallow) than $80 on 3 tiny plastic gears to fix the odo on my $240 eta.

I'm not sure how precise those printers are, but if you've got access to one and are decent at drawing up quick models, you could probably print up some odometer gears that people would definitely buy as they're like $25 a pop elsewhere (shit, I need a set).

That 3-D printer is pretty fucking badass! Love the shift know collection!
:pimp:
This car is so outlandish, I can't wait to see it finished! :D

Too bad you had to destroy that Mtech1 valence for the intercooler, it's my only qualm with the car... :(

We have a 3D printer at school that I've used before. Maybe I'll make a knob in solidworks and then print it. Maybe a dick head shaped one lol.

that really does sound pretty gay..
so you can practice giving your passenger a hand job.. you like holding a big foreign hard delrin cock on your hand.. i don't even want to know if you're gonna use in "other" ways

I do live in Indianapolis but on the south side.

[kayak2indiana]

Indianapolis is hell. The weather is terrible, most people can't drive here, there's nothing to do at night, and the amount of potholes is rediculous. I hate Indiana.

Any way to get the license plate NOFXGVN? Since NOFKSGVN wouldn't fit.

ninja: I guess it all depends on your state and how many letters they allow. AZ for the record is seven on personal plates.

if you cant run seven (we can only run 6 in aus), 0FXGVN ?

[yberther]

^that'd be tight.

maybe something like "unfuckwithable"
